There WAS a niche for good, lower priced S X S guns in America, but the Turks recognized the need and have filled it very well, IMO. The Miroku built guns were very good for the money, but not perfect. I shot my BSS off face on the right barrel, partly because the single trigger is not selective and always fires the right barrel first, causing many more rounds to be shot through the right barrel than the left. They're great shooting guns. I won the 2010 S X S events at the U S Open with mine, in both AA class and Veterans concurrent. But, it should not have shot itself off face so quickly, given the care and cleaning it received from me, and the total number of rounds fired through it.
Keep in mind that the design is a copy of the Webley & Scott, and with that comes some of the draw backs of that venerable design. The design was originally intended as light game gun. It was never intended to be a high volume clays gun or a dedicated waterfowl gun. Many have served those purposes well, but they also have a tendency to come off the face with high volume use.
